RESUMO
The authors evaluated negative effects of cadmium and arsenic compounds on health of population residing near storage of extraction and processing waste of ore mining and processing enterprise. Hygienic analysis covered quality of ambient air, drinkable water and foods, evaluation of risk factors of lipid metabolism disorders. Clinical and laboratory examination involved 137 children and 99 adults in chronic multi-environmental (ambient air, water, foods) exposure to metals (cadmium and arsenic, HI 1.21-1.29), diagnosed endocrine diseases including lipid metabolism disorders (excessive nutrition and obesity, E67.8-66.0) in adults 1.4 times more, and in children in 1.7-2.2 times more than in the reference group. Direct probable statistically significant cause-effect relationship was established between lipid metabolism disorders and serum levels of cadmium and arsenic (R² = 0,36-0,95; 71,07≤ F ≤2597,94; p< 0,001). In multi-environmental exposure to cadmium and arsenic, reduced index of lipid metabolic disorders risk in adult population exceeds upper limit of low risk level (0,05) at 33 years of age, of high risk level (0,35) - at 58 years of age and very high (0,6) - at 63 years of age.
